ETUC consults over economic governance

The ETUC's collective bargaining committee is carrying out a consultation over the impact of country-specific recommendations on collective bargaining and wages. It is also asking its affiliates whether they want to highlight any particular issues in the lead up to consultations over the 2015 Annual Growth Survey that will be published in November. The ETUC collective bargaining committee has set up a website where affiliates can input information and comments on various aspects of the European Semester. If EPSU affiliates have any concerns about collective bargaining and wages in the public services then they should contact their confederations and ensure that they raise these matters with the ETUC using the new website.

ETUC warns of threat to pay bargaining in economic governance proposals

Europe

The ETUC is concerned that the legislative package on economic governance that was agreed in the European Parliament at the end of September will be used to keep wages down and poses a threat to collective bargaining. There is a clause in one part of the package that affords protection for national wage bargaining and the ETUC says it will not hesitate to use this safeguard to protect the autonomy of collective bargaining at national level. In the meantime the European institutions have pushed the debate around pay determination up the political agenda and a conference organized by DG
